brick VS tig

Thank you!

"stash", the initial MVP version, is written in Haskell. I chose Haskell mostly because of https://github.com/jtdaugherty/brick, which is a wonderful TUI library. I also tend to prefer functional programming languages when I have the choice.

However, Text 's backend and website are currently implemented in Clojure. The app is in C + Flutter (Dart).

Brick? Hadn’t heard of it so leaving for myself and others

Brick is a great library for terminal applications. I’d say start with the examples or take a look at some tutorials that use it, then just go at it.

Thanks. Yeah I was surprised myself at how much of a capable tool whiptail turned out to be. Especially since I'd heard it has issues with returning values, or not being as capable as dialog. I was actually in the midst of choosing between it, Haskell's brick, or python's PromptToolkit, yet settled on whiptail to see how far a bash approach could take me.

Written in Haskell with brick.

A declarative Unix terminal UI programming library written in Haskell (by jtdaugherty)

There is brick[1][2] for Haskell. Other languages may have something similar.

[2] https://github.com/jtdaugherty/brick/blob/master/docs/samtay...

In that vein, a declarative way to build (Text) UI like html+css. Or something along the lines of what Brick is for terminals.

Related but I use tig, a TUI, a lot to examine the state of my working tree and index and stage/unstage/reset changes piecemeal. It works great.

I'd like to plug [tig](https://github.com/jonas/tig) for those who don't use emacs. I see lazygit recommended here too, but I've been using tig for years now and love it's simplicity.

Try tig

I'm normally a CLI git (and tig) user.

Sometimes when I work in command line I use tig (https://jonas.github.io/tig/). There is also similar tool lazygit (https://github.com/jesseduffield/lazygit)

And you accidently open a git TUI

tig +My custom command to fix MR comments by quickly editing an old commit's changes at the time when that commit was created. (Like a more controlled git-absorb that explicitly selects a commit to fixup and therefor avoids rebase-conflicts when squashing)

today I looked at tig which is a nice text based GUI, and I think I will never use git log again :-)

If you are looking for more interactivity while remaining on the commandline, have you looked at Tig? Tig has a view for browsing refs, and you can sort by date.
